After the score difference became 7 points, the Spurs' offense became more cautious.
Tony Parker got the first scoring opportunity in this round of offense, but after LeBron James's defense arrived, Parker immediately gave up the opportunity in front of him, chose a pass, and reorganized the offense.
The ball was passed back and forth, consuming a lot of unnecessary time. The Spurs' caution made them immediately become impatient when the offensive round entered the last 5 seconds.
After the impatient Tony Parker's impetuous breakthrough failed, he passed the ball to Tim Duncan, the calmest player on the court. Then Duncan took the shot at the last second, and with a bang, it bounced out of the frame.
Lin Yu rushed to the basket the moment Duncan took action. At this moment, his approach was a bit like Russell Westbrook later. For a rebound, he gambled that his opponent might steal the rebound. Instead,
The danger of hitting an open three-pointer.
But Lin Yu made the right bet. Duncan took the blame and had no time to fight for the rebound. Center Oberto was stuck behind Big Z again. Lin Yu suddenly rushed out and became a surprise player. He jumped up and easily picked off the rebound.
.
The next second he got the rebound, he glanced at the score. With a score difference of 7 points, Lin Yu decided to shoot another three-pointer to make the score difference 4 points. In this way, a comeback would become a high probability event.
But then, Lin Yu missed his three-point shot during the counterattack.
The basketball hit the edge of the basket hard and bounced out. The rebound was picked up by Tony Parker who retreated to the basket.
The Spurs were able to counterattack with a goal. They also took advantage of the chaos caused by the Cavaliers' counterattack and retreat. Duncan hit a throw in the frontcourt, and the score gap was stretched to 9 points.
The chasing three-pointer missed, and the opponent hit a ball in reverse. This made Lin Yu realize even more that the effect of the "Three Minutes of Death" was not unnatural, and he still had to deal with the opponent's defense carefully.
The Cavaliers re-opened the ball in the backcourt, and it was Lin Yu who was in possession of the ball. Because when chasing points, the Cavaliers formed an ultimate offensive lineup, with point guard Daniel Gibson, shooting guard Lin Yu, small forward James, power forward Lewis and center Big
z.
From this point of view, Mike Brown is still very courageous.
Lin Yu controlled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, finding LeBron James. After a pick-and-roll, Lin Yu took a small step laterally.
The Spurs continued to implement the strategy of switching defenses in pick-and-roll situations, and Bruce Bowen began to stick close to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu made a breakthrough that looked very stiff. Naturally, he couldn't get rid of Bowen, but Lin Yu's movement still gave him a space to shoot.
He faced Bowen's defense, touched the ground with his right foot, held the basketball in both hands and pulled it up, as if he was about to take action immediately.
Bowen naturally flew towards him, but Lin Yu took a step back, raised his hand and shot a three-pointer.
"The step-back three-pointer came from China Lin, and he didn't get rid of Bruce Bowen's defense!"
Whoosh!
The basketball got into the basket in response.
With a bang, Quicken Loans Center erupted again, and cheers completely filled the entire arena.
"The three-pointer was too strong. China Lin's performance was too strong!"
Mike Breen shouted at the top of his lungs a classic phrase that might help Lin Yu in the future: "At critical moments, you can always trust Lin Yu from China!"
The score gap was close again. In the last 1 minute and 52 seconds, the Cavaliers were only 6 points behind.
Lin Yu's statistics also changed to 10 of 21 shots, scoring 31 points, plus 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
After the last three minutes started, Lin Yu's outburst directly changed his data performance from slightly bad to a fairly good one.
Hitting three three-pointers in four attempts also helped Lin Yu gain the trust of his teammates.
In the next defensive round, Lin Yu's interference forced Ginobili's shot to miss. The Cavaliers grabbed the rebound and launched another counterattack.
Because he had a three-point shooting experience, Lin Yu's offensive choices became more reasonable during the counterattack. He did not just shoot three-pointers blindly, but ran without the ball, caught the ball while running, and shot a shot.
CIC.
With a swish sound, it hit again, and the Quicken Loans Center cheered again.
"With 11 points in a row, in the last three minutes of the game, China Lin suddenly broke out. He was leading the Cleveland Cavaliers towards the goal of a comeback and victory!"
With a 4-point difference, Greg Veitch couldn't sit still and walked to the sidelines to call a timeout.
Lin Yu waved his hands with a cold face and walked towards the sidelines.
LeBron James patted Lin Yu on the shoulder. He was feeling more and more emotional now. Lin Yu was his teammate. Without Lin Yu, the three rounds of the playoffs in the Eastern Conference would not be so easy. In this finals, the Cavaliers will also
He will be defeated by the Spurs by a big score due to lack of preparation.
But sometimes, Lin Yu's performance is too good and steals James' limelight. This is something that worries James.
With the final 4-point score difference and the last 1 minute and 31 seconds of game time, anything is possible.
After the timeout, Lin Yu got all the ball rights designated by Mike Brown and LeBron James. It is obvious that both Mike Brown and James are very sure of the answer to one question - at the critical moment of the game, Ke Cun
Who is your father?
There is no doubt that it is Lin Yu!
In the Spurs' offense, they had a hard time passing the ball into the low post. Then, Tim Duncan's strong inside attack helped the Spurs score a key 2 points.
The score returned to 6 points, and the suspense still remained.
Lin Yu received the ball in the backcourt, he quickly moved forward, and then cooperated with James at the top of the key in a pick-and-roll.
After blocking, Lin Yu immediately understood that the Spurs' defensive center had moved to his side when faced with Bruce Bowen's switch of defense and Duncan's obviously extended help defense.
"Greg Veitch moved very quickly, and he directly started to defend China Lin..."
Facing a dense defense, Lin Yu's choice was to pass the ball to James.
When James catches the ball, he faces an extremely wide space.
"LBJ was miserable today. Throughout the game, he faced various assist and supplementary defenses from the Spurs. He only hit 4 goals in 15 shots and had the worst game of his career."
It seemed that James was very comfortable rushing towards the penalty area, but before he took two steps, he was immediately blocked by Duncan who returned to defense.
James, who shot 4 of 15 from the field, was about to improve his shooting, but the Spurs' defense immediately changed.
He can only pass the ball, or facing such a defense, he just wants to pass the ball.
The target of the pass was naturally Katsumura's father, Lin Yu, at the critical moment.
"Beyond the right three-point line, China Lin received the ball. Against Bruce Bowen's defense, he shot another three-pointer!"
Whoosh!
After consecutive hits, Lin Yu, who felt increasingly hot, hit another three-pointer without any suspense. Amid the cheers of Quicken Loans Center, the point difference was only 3 points.
"Two minutes ago, the score difference was still 13 points. Now, the score difference is only 3 points. China Lin, who scored 14 points in two minutes, should remind the Spurs of that night of 13 points in 35 seconds."
The score difference was 13 points, and the score was approaching in a crazy and fast manner. Mike Breen in the commentary box had already thought of Tracy McGrady's 13 points in 35 seconds.
Marv Albert also smiled and added, "Obviously, the Spurs have thought of it, as evidenced by Greg Veitch calling a timeout again."
